Bianca and Ronnie bond at The Vic

Bianca wanders past the launderette and spies Dot inside, handcuffed to a shelf. Inside, Bianca searches for a key, but Dot insists that there's no point in looking as she has it. She passes the mystery box to Bianca and reveals that it's a retirement present. An emotional Dot breaks down at the thought of retiring and tells Bianca that she doesn't want to leave. In The Vic, Ronnie throws everyone out and closes up when Roxy makes a remark about her. As she stares at her phone and Joel's contact details, there's a bang on the door - it's Bianca and Dot.

Ronnie begrudgingly lets them in and an argument between Ronnie and Bianca soon breaks out as they make snide comments about each other's lives. The final straw for Ronnie comes, though, when Bianca mentions Danielle. With that, Ronnie slaps her and a catfight ensues. Dot returns from the ladies' and announces that she wants to be alone, before returning to the launderette.

Later, Dot's looking at pictures of Jim, Ethel and Pauline, while Ronnie and Bianca continue to argue in The Vic. Bianca soon apologises to Ronnie and reveals that she once lost a child, a baby daughter called Natasha. Ronnie goes on to ask about Ricky and whether they snuggle up together at night but Bianca insists that he's 'just Ricky'. Ronnie goes upstairs and Bianca helps herself to a drink. She heads across to the jukebox, puts on a song ('Wonderwall' - her and Ricky's first dance at their wedding) and looks at Ronnie's mobile that is full of messages from Joel. When Ronnie returns, the conversation turns to Joel and Ronnie reveals that he's Danielle's father.

Ronnie and Bianca continue to discuss who they'd 'marry, kiss or push off a cliff', before talk turns to Ronnie's usual black attire and Bianca's jacket. Dot returns to The Vic and shows them her retirement clock and insists 'the older you get, the faster it goes'. She also suggests to Ronnie and Bianca that they remind her of Ethel and Pauline. When Dot disappears again, Bianca breaks down and admits to Ronnie that she let the best thing that ever happened to her slip through her fingers - it's only ever been about Ricky. Bianca leaves, resolute on coming clean with Ricky, while Ronnie deletes all of Joel's messages.

Returning home, Bianca's puzzled to find a note that reads: 'Had to go away. Tell Liam I'll call him. Ricky'. Ronnie goes to Joel's house and gives him an ultimatum: 'If you love me, you will come home with me tonight'. And Dot calls Mr Papadopolous to say that she has no intention of retiring and that she'll be working her normal hours.
